What a breathe of fresh air!

The census shows that even amongst those who claim to be religious, fewer and fewer actually worship.

Australia is a Secular country and we ought much more proud of it. Humanists are not opposed to religious people worshipping, just believe that Good without God is an equally desirable state, and ideal in a Secular country. That Government and Education in particular should be Secular in all their dealings. Also the link between our Military forces and religion should remain secular, Australia does not want to be associated with religious wars! Hence, why should the Standards, ships, tanks, aircraft need to be very obviously 'blessed'?For those that want unsubstantiated belief to drive their lives, go for it, but don't try to indoctrinate the rest of us with your mumbo jumbo, particularly not our children, or our government and institutions.
